But as Jimbo Fisher reviewed the film from Florida State's first fall scrimmage, the head coach came away pleased with the depth his program has built.

"A lot of the veteran guys played very consistent," said Fisher, after going back and watching the Seminoles' Tuesday scrimmage again. "The 1s on offense and the 1s on defense did what they were supposed to do. And the 2s surprised me at times. ... They actually executed plays and made blocks, or got off blocks. (It is) very encouraging about the depth and where we're going."

With the Seminoles returning to the practice fields for a two-a-day on Thursday, after taking Wednesday off, some players that are involved in position battles are beginning to separate themselves from the competition.

After losing linebacker Telvin Smith to the NFL, junior Terrance Smith slide over to weakside linebacker, after starting last season at middle linebacker.

"Levenberry will be the one right now," Fisher said Thursday. "Levenberry's been playing the best.

"… Him and Terrance right now are the guys that I think are playing the most consistent inside."

It appears the competition for the starting punter job is also winding down.

Before FSU's firs fall practice, Fisher said the job was open, with junior Cason Beatty struggling the last two seasons as the starter.

So sophomore walk-on Jonathan Hernandez has been spending some time working with FSU's first-team unit.

"He's doing alright," Fisher said. "But he's not kicking better than Beatty right now. He hits some long ones, but he's not consistent enough."

OL Mavety, Are impressing early

As good as Florida State's offensive line was in 2013, it lacked depth.

Less than two weeks into preseason camp, it doesn't appear that depth will be much of an issue this season across the Seminoles' o-line.

Junior Chad Mavety, who transferred from Nassau (N.Y) Community College, is currently pushing senior returning starter Bobby Hart at right tackle.

"He's gonna be a really good player," Fisher said. "(I'm) really happy with him. We're happy with his progress."

The head coach also spoke highly of 6-foot-6, 325-pound junior Kareem Are, who transferred Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College.

Both 6-foot-5, 315-pound Mavety and Are have spent time rotating in with FSU's senior-laden first-team offensive line.

"(Mavety) and Kareem Are have been great additions," Fisher said. "Exactly what we needed."

Winston left off of USA Today Sports' preseason All-American team

Jameis Winston may have been crowned the best player in college football last season, but the Heisman Trophy-winner did not make USA Today Sports' preseason All American first-team, that was released Thursday.

Florida State put a nation-leading seven players on the two 25-man All-American teams that each included 11 offensive players, 11 defensive players, a placekicker, a punter and a return specialist.
